Occupants themselves remove illegal shops

Some illegal occupants have demolished their own establishments after receiving a stern message from Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Tapas.

They vacated eight illegally constructed shops adjacent to the walls of the newly constructed powerhouse opposite to the central office of the Bangladesh Awami League on Bangabandhu Avenue, reads a press release on Monday.
